In the 80's

Bit of a long shot here but MANY moons ago my grandfather owned a Skoda dealership in swindon called County Road Garage. does anyone have anything with the compnay name on it? dealer window sticker? service sheet? anything really. if you do could you stick a piccy up as i'd love to see it. the garage was a huge part of my families history but since he passed away the storys and memories have faded. any help would be muchly appreciated

It's a mith that chattering is bad for the turbo, not even the big turbo companys can hand on heart say its bad!!! I've been running my vrs for over 45k without a dump valve and she chatters more than a scouser on smack with no problems what so ever and bearing in mind I'm on the original turbo at 175k that's peaking @ 18psi I think she'd have been a Prime candidate for failing.

one of the easiest clutches to do as box is easy to get out. last one i did was done in under 3 hours on my back with no air tools. you will need a long multispline socket to undo the drive shaft bolts.

this is exactly what i have had on mine for the last year on idel from cold on boost the cars coming up on 174k no so been on there nearly 15k with no issues or loss of power.

i had this on a 2008 audi TT dsg, the dealer ended up replacing the ecu inside the box, all sorted and fault never reoccured.

what sort of mpg figures are the mk2 PD vrs's putting out?

The bearing that comes with the vr6 kit Is all you need :-)

Hi guys, I currently have a modded mk1 vrs which love to bits and has 172k on and still going strong has defo been the best car i have ever owned and seeing as i've had near on 400 other cars thats saying something!! well basicly i've been offered a mk2 PD170 with 74k on the clock. what things do i need to look out for? whats the common issues with the mk2? any help would be greatfully recieved!!! lee

i had this after fitting a g60/vrs set up. did 8k like it and then changed for another vr6 clutch. still did it :( i had already repalced the slave clyinder so thought it had to be the master. changed that and it made a hell of a difference. the old master was sticking on release so not allowing the clutch to grip smoothly. only prob is that now the clutch has slipped it won;t bed back in 100% so get a small amount of random slip every now and again.

i have the same prob with mine but only the front wiper. disconnected the rear motor still does it, so last night i removed the linkage to replace the lot with one from a golf and it had the wrong multiplug on it. put mine back in and it was fine come out this am and the bl00dy things playing up again. do your wipers park high as well when you put it on intermittent?

it sure is a standard tip infact it's a standard system all the way through but just minus the back box this was replaced with a straight through pipe that splits into 2 before a standard tip was fitted to make it look OE. It surprised me how much the orginal back box weighed!! i was gutted i missed coombe last weekend as i was hoping to give it it's first track session with it fitted :( many comments were made last year that our track session was the quietest one all day, so wanted to surprise a few peeps lol

171k on mine and still returning 42mpg daily, first clutch was done at 149k still on original engine / turbo / gearbox

mine on idel and then on full boost
